Bismillah.

After seeing a sudden spike/increase in ekhlas’s visitors in the ‘Blog Stats’ section of Wordpress Dashboard, I decided to take a look at where these visitors were coming from in the ‘Referrers’ section of the Dashboard.

http://www.ilmessaggero.it/articolo.php?id=22443&sez=HOME_NELMONDO

The above link was the most occurring Referrer.

When I went to this link it opened up to what looked like an Italian newspaper’s website. I immediately translated the Italian page into English via Google’s Translate option.

I was shocked, dismayed, and appauled at the fact that ekhlas.wordpress.com/blog was a link provided in the article entitled: “Terrorismo, Al Qaeda apre un sito in italiano” which translates to “Terrorism, Al Qaeda opens a site in Italian”.

The articles mentions in the opening paragraph:

“ROMA (14 aprile) - Al-Qaeda apre un sito in lingua italiana. I suoi proseliti via Web stanno dedicando uno dei loro forum nella nostra lingua, ed è uno dei forum qaedisti più noti e frequentati, “Ekhlas”. Finora interamente in lingua araba, il forum è stato scelto dagli internauti dopo la chiusura da parte della polizia postale, il 22 febbraio scorso, del blog dell’Imam di Carmagnola, Abdul Qadir Fadlallah Mamour, e della moglie Barbara Farina.”

English:

“ROME (April 14) - Al-Qaeda opening a site in English. Its Web proselytes are dedicating one of their forum in our language, and is a forum qaedisti known and most popular, “Ekhlas. So far, entirely in Arabic, the forum was chosen by Internet users after the closure by the police post, on February 22 last blog dell’Imam Carmagnola, Abdul Qadir Fadlallah Mamour, and wife Barbara Farina.”

At the 3rd line above, the words ”Internet users” are linked to this blog [ekhlas.wordpress.com]!!!

I would request all the people who know me personally, or through the internet, or those who have visited my blog and know about its contents, to comment to this post as much as possible and to negate this horried accusation hurled at my weblog.

I would also like to appeal to any Muslim or sane human being who can help me to to contact the ‘Il Messanggero’ newspaper’s website so I may be able to clear this mistake and get a written apology and acknowledgement of this blunder in writing from the newspaper.

I ask all the members of the Muslim Blogger’s Alliance and especially Sidi Mikael Pittam to contact me at bilal.ekhlas@gmail.com to discuss this matter further as I need your help, and mashwara [counsel].

Your Brother,

Bilal Malik
